When a generator doesn't come on during an outage, the cause is usually something a maintenance visit would have caught.
A battery that quietly lost its charge, a transfer switch that sticks, a loose or corroded connection, an exercise cycle that stopped running months ago, or an engine service that was skipped. In South Florida, heat, humidity and salt air speed all of that up — and you usually find out at the worst possible moment, in the middle of a storm.
Signs your generator needs service now:
Every visit follows the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for your model, and ends with a full transfer test so you know the system works end to end.
Battery load test, terminals cleaned and tightened, and the charger checked — the battery is the most common reason a generator won't start.
Oil, filters and spark plugs on the schedule your manufacturer sets for your model and run hours — or coordinated with your generator dealer when your warranty requires dealer service.
We simulate an outage, confirm the automatic transfer switch moves your home to generator power, and that it transfers back cleanly.
We read stored faults, confirm the date, time and exercise schedule, and check settings after power blips reset them.
Connections at the generator, transfer switch and panel inspected and tightened; breakers and wiring checked for heat and damage.
Enclosure, louvers and hardware checked for corrosion, insects, debris and clearance — common problems near the coast.
You get a short written report of what we found and anything that needs attention. Fuel-supply problems (natural gas or propane) are referred to a licensed gas contractor — we don't do gas work.
We diagnose the generator, the automatic transfer switch and the wiring between them — the three places a backup power system usually fails.
Dead or weak battery, overcrank faults, controller errors or a generator left in OFF or MANUAL.
Generator starts but the house stays dark — usually a transfer switch, control wiring or breaker problem.
Low voltage, overload, overspeed and other faults, or a generator that shuts down when the AC starts.
Utility power returns but the home stays on the generator, or doesn't switch back at all.
Failed, undersized or outdated automatic transfer switches replaced and brought up to current code.
Controllers, chargers and boards damaged by lightning or surges diagnosed and repaired or replaced.
Licensed & insured — Florida License EC 13014052. Service calls start at our published service-call rate, and you get a written price before any repair. Repairs are covered by our 1-Year Done-Right Guarantee.
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A spring visit catches problems before the first storm, when every installer is booked.
If your generator ran for days after a storm, it has likely reached its next service interval. Have it checked before the next event.
A "maintenance due" message or error code means it's time — don't just clear it.
Unknown service history is a risk. A first visit tells you exactly what you have and what it needs.
Generator maintenance and repair in every Broward city, plus Boca Raton and southern Palm Beach County:
At least once a year, ideally before hurricane season starts on June 1, plus any service the manufacturer specifies by run hours. Generators that run for days after a storm often need service sooner.
Yes. We maintain and repair standby generators and automatic transfer switches regardless of who installed them, and we'll tell you upfront whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Usually the automatic transfer switch, its control wiring or a tripped breaker between the generator and the switch. That's an electrical repair we handle — call us and we'll troubleshoot the whole system.
A battery and charger test, engine service per the manufacturer's schedule, a check of the controller and its error log, inspection and tightening of the electrical connections, an enclosure and corrosion check, and a full transfer test under load.
No. Xlectrical handles the electrical side of the generator and transfer switch. If we find a fuel-supply problem, we'll tell you and refer it to a licensed gas contractor.
Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24/7 at 754-289-8993. During and right after a major storm, demand is very high, which is another reason to schedule maintenance before hurricane season.
Schedule maintenance before hurricane season, or call now if your generator won't start or won't transfer.
